2007 – Coastal One Foot and Six Inch Imagery

The MS Coordinating Council for Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems (MCCRSGIS) has developed one foot and six inch natural color digital ortho-imagery for the six Coastal counties. This ortho-imagery is composed of 24 bit natural color digital orthos at 6’ GSD and 1’ GSD for the project area. Urban areas and the coastline were typically 6 inch resolution with the remaining areas at 1 foot. See Reference Map

This data was Mosaiced into multi-resolution images using MrSid. The data is in State Plane NAD 83 HARN Feet (MS East 2301) projection. The SID images were created using a 20:1 compression ratio. Please see the detailed metadata for process description.

The acquisition and production of natural color digital orthoimagery is delivered by sections of counties See Index Map.
